Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 5/25/18
This Privacy Policy statement is made by drum.ist ("
drum.ist", "we", "us" or "our") and is effective as of 25th
May 2018. Here at drum.ist, we are committed to you and to
protecting your privacy rights. We are committed to
fulfilling our responsibilities under the European Union's
General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") in relation to
the collection, retention, use, and other processing of
personal data that is obtained when EU data subjects visit
and interact with the Site. We may use it to periodically
inform you about changes on our Web Site and new products
and services. We do not sell, trade or rent your personal

drum.ist Privacy Commitment
drum.ist asks for only the least amount of information
necessary, gathering only what we believe is essential for
doing business, or for the specific transaction at hand. We
let customers know the information we have on them and allow
them to opt out of specific engagements.
The goal of this policy is to make explicit the information
we gather on our customers and users, how we will use it,
and how we will not. This policy is unfortunately longer
than we would like, but we must unambiguously address all
the relevant cases. We will try and keep the language simple
and direct as much as possible.
Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the products and services
provided by drum.ist through these websites, our mobile
applications, and applications posted by drum.ist on
drum.ist'websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to
any of our websites, products or services that have a
separate privacy policy.
This Privacy Policy is divided into two parts:
Part I - Information drum.ist collects and controls
This part deals with how drum.ist collects and uses
information about website visitors, potential customers,
users of drum.ist products and services, and others who
contact drum.ist through forms or email addresses published
on or linked to our websites.
Part II - General
This part deals with topics that are relevant to other
general topics such as drum.ist security commitments and how
we will inform you when we change this Privacy Policy.
